  RAID 5 is fine, as part of a storage and data management plan. I run it on an older NAS, though It can do RAID 6.

  No RAID is reliable in the sense of “it’ll never fail” - fault tolerance has been added to it over the years but it’S still a storage pool from multiple drives.

  ZFS adds to it’s fault resistance, but you still better have proper backups/redundancy.

        Sitting on a chair with a hammer suspended above your nutsack and having a friend cut the rope at a random time will provide the same effect and surprise with much less effort.
